It is the category menu I am having problems with. Sorry I called this menu 2 - items added via the WP interface. Its this "menu 2" that appears corrupted. Using the javascript.

So let me see if I have it right.
You go to dashboard->appearances->menus and create a menu 'my-menu'
on the same page, under 'Theme Locations' you use 'my-menu' in the 'Menu 2' slot
At ATO->Style & edit HEADER AREA->Configure Header Area you are using %cats

so how many items do you have in 'my-menu'?
are you adding pages and Categories, external links?
What does it look like (example
page-1
cat-1
cat-1a
external-1
cat-b
page-2
page-2a

The site is not in the root directory its in a folder called wordpress
No -- uncategorized is still there. My default category was set to England.
920 posts
yes I have a backup.
Site is now hammering the server so have taken it down using JF3 maintenance.

I think I would create 'testbed' - ie a new database and an new install of wordpress (copying the entire wp-contents folder to the new install. Currently you have a folder that fishingnet.com points to. In that folder is a folder called 'wordpress'. All you do is create an different folder called 'testbed' and then manually install the wordpress code (all the files and folders that are in the 'wordpress' folder) into the 'testbed' folder.

You will have to change the wp-config.php to point at the new database (call it 'testbed' when you create it to keep things simple) and then import your backup into the testbed db.

Now you will be ale to get to this by using 'fishingnet.com/testbed' and you have a place to test changes without making more of a mess of your 'live' site
